Tampons 100% Organic Cotton with Cardboard Applicator Super Plus - 14 Count Emerita

Emerita - Tampons 100% Organic Cotton with Cardboard Applicator Super Plus - 14 Count

Emerita Tampons 100% Organic Cotton with Cardboard Applicator Super Plus have a security veil and biodegradable applicators. They're pesticide and chlorine/dioxin free. The 100% organic cotton core is naturally fluffy and absorbent. Every one of Emerita's tampons features a soft mesh security veil around its core which helps prevent fibers from shedding inside you. The average woman will use 12,000 tampons in her lifetime. Emerita understands that what you put in your body matters, and they have been improving the health and lives of women since 1978. Choosing Emerita Tampons with 100% Organic Cotton lessens your chemical exposure risk.

Tampons are not all created equal and, contrary to what you might assume, they’re often not made from 100% cotton. If you read tampon box labels, you’re likely to find such ingredients as “rayon,” “polyester,” “polypropylene,” “fragrance,” and “fiber finishes” (whatever that means). That’s why Emerita constructed their tampons from a women’s health perspective.

• Organic Cotton
• Rayon Free
• Perfum Free
• Pesticide Free
• Chlorine & Dioxin Free
• No Synthetics
• Biodegradable Applicator
• Cruelty Free

Emerita tampons are made of 100% certified organic cotton. That means you can expect the cotton to be free from pesticide residues. Their cotton is cleansed with a mild hydrogen peroxide solution, so it’s also chlorine-free. What’s more, cotton is a great, natural fiber. It’s inherently fluffy and absorbent and requires minimal chemical processing. Cotton is simply cotton.

Construction matters, too. So, Emerita tampons also feature a high-quality security veil—a fine, cotton outer mesh to help keep the fibers in the core of the tampon, where they belong. A lot of tampons don’t have a security veil, or if they do, it’s often not a very secure one. Without a high-quality security veil, there’s more risk of tampon fibers shedding and being left behind.

Emerita Applicator Tampons are rayon-free, perfume-free, chlorine-free… and synthetic-free. There’s nothing here but 100% organic cotton goodness. All tampons are not created equal. What you put in your body matters.

About Emerita
Emerita (e-MER-ita) has been a leading brand of natural women’s wellness products since 1978. They’re proud to be women-operated, and their mission is “improving the health and lives of women”—a cause that makes them excited to come to work every day.

In the early days, they marketed natural midlife products through the Transitions For Health catalog and through physicians’ offices. The catalog even appeared in an episode of the TV show Sex & the City. Then in the 1990s, their flagship progesterone cream, Pro-Gest Cream, was first introduced at natural food stores, launching a whole category of natural wellness products for mature women. Since then, Emerita has expanded its offerings to include intimacy, feminine care and health supplements, as well. Today, Emerita products are sold in natural food stores across the country, as well as through many online retailers.

Emerita has long been a socially-responsible company that respects and empowers its employees, while operating in an open and collaborative fashion. Emerita also has a long history as an advocate for women, valuing education about women's health issues.

Emerita Philosophy
Emerita understands that their business affects the environment, and they believe it's their responsibility to care for the health and balance of the planet, just as they have been caring for the health and balance of women for the past 35 years. Emerita is committed to continually monitoring ongoing scientific and technological discoveries to identify the best and healthiest choices for all their products.

The Products
For Emerita's products, they use only plant- and mineral-derived ingredients whenever possible. When these options aren't available they utilize research from sources such as the European Union, Environmental Working Group, the Breast Cancer Fund, and others for recommendations on the safest stabilizing chemicals available to produce the highest-quality product.

Emerita products do not contain mineral oil, petroleum, phthalates, sodium laurel sulfate, or animal anything. The products are never tested on animals. And aside from their OH Warming Lubricant (which contains honey), they contain no animal products. The cotton used in Emerita tampons is certified organic by the Ethical and Environmental Institute (ICEA). The cotton in Emerita tampons, pads, and pantyliners is cleansed by chlorine-free methods, which means they are free from traces of dioxins from chlorine bleaching.
